This is absolutely insane! With all the recent bugs and features that looks like backdoors I have completely lost faith in x86.
We need simple open ISAs (like RISC-V) and a handfull of trusted organizations that inspect the manufacture processes to protect ourselves from this. A bit like how countries and organizations send people to inspect other countries democratic voting processes, or like how IAEA inspect nuclear stockpiles etc.
I call for:
+ Open source.
+ No creeping featurism.
+ Multiple inspection organizations that watch the process from source code to final chip product.
